Converter not finding CR2 files from Canon 5D III

I installed v7.1 of the dng converter to convert CR2 files from a new Canon 5D Mark III for use in Lightroom 3.6. However, the program does not recognize the CR2 files whether in the original folder on the camera memory card or transferred to a folder on my hard drive. The Canon Digital Photo Pro will open the CR2s so I know they are good files. Any ideas? [OS is Windows 7 Pro]

If you ever need to convert just one image or a few images, you can just drag those images onto the icon for the DNG converter, and it will open and convert those images.

Mac does not recognize CR2 files from Canon T2i

First, I am posting in this forum because I need help for a problem that I think only experienced photographers could answer, even though I don't use Aprerture (or iPhoto).
I borrowed a friend's EOS-1D Mark II and shot using the camera raw format. My Mac could see the files and even open them in Preview. I am using PShop CS3 on a Mac running 10.5. Because of this, I have to use Adobe DNG converter so I could open them in Photoshop. I cannot afford to upgrade either the OS or Photoshop right now.
I decided to start shooting in the raw format with my EOS Rebel T2i. I formatted an SD card and changed the camera's settings to shoot RAW. When I moved the files to my Mac to open them, instead of thumbnail previews, I saw 'exec' icons, even though the file extension says .CR2. I tried to convert them with DNG Converter, and it said there were no recognizable files to convert. I changed the setting in the camera to save the file as both a RAW and jpeg file. The CR2 file was still not recognized, but the jpeg is.
I thought installing "RAW Camera Update 2.7" from Apple's website would solve the problem. (Currently, "RAW Camera Update 2.1.2" is in my Library.) The problem is that ver. 2.7 requires either Aperture or iPhoto 9, or my Mac won't install it. I don't think the issue is with the 3rd party software, because the Mac 'sees' the image files taken with the Mark II, but not the T2i.
I am stumped.

I solved my problem through dumb luck, but maybe it will help other people who are still using CS3:
I had used the version of Adobe DNG Converter for the CR2 files from the Mark II: version 5.4 for CS3. On a whim, I decided to try downloading version 6.2 for CS5. It is a stand-alone app, and if it didn't work, I could just uninstall it. or it simply wouldn't install.
A funny thing happened:
I ran the installer successfully, but when I checked my applications folder, it said I still had version 5.4, and a search for version 6.2 only showed the dmg. Huh. So I dropped a CR2 file on the icon of the version I still had, and it converted! Yay!
The CR2 files still have the 'exec' icons, of course, but once the file is converted to dng, the thumbnails are there.
Canon said it was up to software developers to make things compatible, and apparently the only difference between the RAW file for the Mark II and the T2i, for instance, is a tag buried deep in the file that IDs the camera it came from. I could have used the software that came with the camera, but it converts the CR2 straight into a jpeg, and I want to open it and make adjustments with Photoshop's RAW/DNG editor before opening it in PShop proper, to preserve the most information I can. I am mentioning this only because Canon's suggestion was to use their camera's software, so that is an option, but imo, it defeats the purpose of using RAW to begin with.

I have PS CS5. It does not recognize .CR2 files from my new Canon PowerShot SX50HS camera. Can I update my CR plugin? To what version? Where can I get it?

Try installing it manually from:

Lightroom 4. dose not handle RAW files from canon 5D MK 111.

I have purchased lightroom 4. It dose not handle RAW files from canon 5D MK 111.
I have downloaded and ran the suggested file from Adobe, but still no luck.
Anyone have the answer?

The initial release of Lightroom 4 doesn't handle the 5d mk 3 files because of when the camera was released. You can either wait for the 4.1 release, or you can download the 4.1 Release Candidate 2 at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom4-1/.
Technically you can also download Adobe's DNG converter, but that just adds another program to the situation.

DNG Converter Not Recognizing .CR2 Files

I have a new Canon EOS 5D Mark II and CS3, so I cannot view the CR2 files from the 5D in Bridge in their native format. I read all the posts and upgraded to ACR 4.6, then upgraded the camera profiles to those in the ACR 5.2 package (the one that includes the 5D Mark II).
I then read that I need the DNG Converter to generate DNG files from the CR2 files, so I have installed DNG 6.3.
Problem now is that the DNG Converter will not recognize any CR2 files on my machine, neither the new 5D Mark II CR2 files of my old Rebel CR2 files. When I navigate to a folder containing CR2 files with DNG it says "No images have been selected" in the "Select images to convert" section of the GUI.
I have no idea what to do, I need to get the DNG Converter working to view the files from my new camera in Bridge. Help!

I wish I could say your solution worked - but it didn't! I have a Canon T2i, the very latest version of the Adobe "converter" (8.4) - and it refuses to recognize/find any Canon RAW (i.e. CR2) files. My desktop is 2 years old with lot of horsepower, Win 7, plain vanilla etc.
Step 1: Folder Selected ("Bonaire 2006")
folder selected.jpg
2. When I press "Convert", I get:
No CR2 files recognized.jpg
Another view of the problem:
after getting this: (BTW "Bonaire" is stuffed with CR2 files). Same problem all folders
no items match your search - say what.jpg
I've used a thousand utility programs for any number of purposes - something is amiss here - prompts or not!

After updating Bridge & PS, still unable to view CR2 files from Canon M3

I cannot view CR2 Raw files from the Mark III on Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6 to convert into TIF and JPG files for a client. I have updated all of my Adobe programs, restarted, and the files are still not showing up for me. Help please!

Thank you for elaborating.
Your system should absolutely be opening those files. Any of the versions of ACR (Adobe Camera Raw Plug-in) that run with Photoshop 13.0.6 can and will open those files if properly installed, that includes the current version, ACR 8.6.
Go to About Plug-In > Camera Raw… in the Photoshop menu and see what version shows up there, just to check that the plug-in is installed correctly. There should only be one version of ACR in the plug-in menu.
That Canon camera model has been supported ever since ACR versions 6.7 in CS5 and 7.1 in CS6.
If ACR only shows once in the plug-in menu and you still cannot open your file(s), then you in all probability have corrupted files.
The fact that you can see the images in Apple's Preview means nothing, only that Preview is showing you the embedded JPEG preview embedded in the file. Such JPEG previews generally do not get corrupted even if the raw file has been corrupted.
I hope you have the original CR2 files or good backups.

CR2 files from Canon 70D in Elements 11 on windows Vista

I cannot get Photoshop 11 to recognize (open) CR2 files from my Canon 70D camera. Running Windows Vista. Is there an update for this for Vista.

Aperture 3.0 not importing RAW files from Canon T1i

I have recently upgraded to Aperture 3.0. I shoot with Canon T1i in RAW+JPG file size. When importing files from Canon T1i for the first time to Aperture 3.0, I found that all files imported as jpg not RAW. How do I get the RAW files? Help!!!
Anjali

It does support Canon T1i RAW mode. In the "Import Settings", there's a section for "RAW+JPEG Pairs". If you don't see this, click the "Import Settings" pulldown menu and select it.
In the "RAW+JPEG Pairs" section, there's a pulldown menu to allow you to select "Both (RAW as Master)"
It'll use the JPEG as the "Preview" image, but it will use the RAW as the master for all adjustments you want to perform.
Prior to the import, you should see both the JPEG and RAW (.CR2) files. AFTER the import, you should only see the RAW in your project (it has the JPEG... but it wont normally display it because it knows the RAW is the master.) After the import, select any photo in your project, then click the "metadata" tab on the left. At the top it should give you the camera, lens, exposure info, etc. and you should see the "RAW" icon.

PSE 11 won't open CR2 files from Canon PowerShot G15.

I was interested in PSE 11 so I could use ACR 7.x to open the raw (CR2) files from my new Canon PowerShot G15 camera--but even after updating the files, PSE 11 won't recognize my camera! It's still not listed in the group of supported cameras on the Adobe website(s). This camera has been out for a few months (at least!), so it's unbelievable that Adobe still won't support those files. They only go through the G12, not up to G15.

See that other current post :

When will Elements11 support CR2 files from Canon 70D ? Or is an upgrade necessary ?

As it is now RAW files from Canon 70D is not recognized by Elements 11. And Adobe don't ship any upgrade, only to Lightroom and PCC/Bridge. Is there a workaround ?

PSE 11 will not be upgraded to support this camera. You need either:
Purchase PSE12 or PSE13 ... or ...
Download and install and use the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.2 or later, convert your RAWs to DNG and then import the DNGs into PSE 11

.CR2 files from Canon DSLR

I have been importing .CR2 files from the flash memory card via a Promaster CF Card Reader.
This has been working very reliably into iPhoto for several months.
Yesterday I got a message that the file type was not recognized.
Now I can't get them to load without taking them through the "back door" first.
Did something change in iPhoto just recently?
I have not changed the OS in the camera, am using the same CF cards, the same computer, the same iPhoto version.
Doesn't make any sense.
Help.

Now I can't get them to load without taking them through the "back door" first.
What's the "back door"?

Can not open CR2 files from a Canon 600D in PSE

Hi
Ok i will put my hand up and say i am very new to PSE, I have updated the software and have the latest camera raw plug in, but for some reason i can not open the raw files created by my 600D.
Can anyone help, or am i going to have to convert them.
Sorry if this has been asked before, but i couldn't find any posts
Chris

The 600D should be supported in ACR 6.4 which is currently in beta so you'll have to wait until it's released, probably within days or weeks, for native support within Elements.
While you're waiting, you can download the beta version of the DNG Converter 6.4 from Adobe Labs and use that to convert your CR2 files to DNGs which will open in older versions of Camera RAW.
http://labs.adobe.com/
Follow the Camera RAW 6.4 RC link and eventually you'll get a link to download the DNG Converter 6.4 RC.
The Camera RAW 6.4 RC installer will only run if you have Photoshop, not Elements, so you can't use that, yet, but you can use the DNG Converter.
Because the DNG Converter and Camera RAW 6.4 are in beta status there could be differences in how the RAW photos look compared to when you get the released version of ACR 6.4 but probably not too much difference.
